Inventor: HARA HIROYUKI
IPC: G01B7/28
Filed: 2004-03-30
Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a
high-precision fingerprint sensor. In order to achieve this object,
the fingerprint sensor of the present invention comprises a matrix
portion in which capacitance detection circuits, which each output
a detection signal corresponding to the capacitance formed between
the capacitance detection circuit and a fingerprint, are arranged
in the form of a matrix; and an amplification circuit for amplifying
this detection signal. The amplification circuit functions as a
signal source for outputting a detection signal to the capacitance
detection circuit and is constituted such that the detection signal
is transmitted from the amplification circuit to the low potential
source line via the capacitance detection circuit.

Abstract: Disclosed is a solid state dye-sensitized solar cell employing a composite polymer electrolyte, which includes a photoelectrode, a counter electrode, and an electrolyte interposed between the photoelectrode and counter electrode. The electrolyte includes at least one of a middle molecular substance, a polymer mixture, and inorganic nanoparticles, and a redox derivative. The dye-sensitized solar cell reduces crystallinity of the polymer electrolyte to significantly increase ionic conductivity, and enables the polymer electrolyte to smoothly permeate into a titanium oxide layer to improve mechanical properties, thereby significantly increasing energy conversion efficiency. Accordingly, the dye-sensitized solar cell assures high energy conversion efficiency without an electrolyte leak, and thus, it can be stably and practically used for a long time.

Abstract: A fuel cell system includes a fuel cell stack (1) comprising an anode (fuel electrode) (1a) and a cathode (oxidizer electrode) (1b), and a system startup run is conducted at the system startup to bring the fuel cell stack (1) into a power extractable state (idle state). In the fuel cell system, air supply flow is controlled so that air in an amount larger than a reference flow required to bring the fuel cell stack (1) into the power extractable state, is supplied to the cathode (1b) over a preset time from the start of air supply to the cathode (1b), by estimating an amount of hydrogen present on the cathode (1b), deciding an air supply flow increment to commensurate with the estimated hydrogen amount, and controlling an air supply flow, whereby air at a flow rate provided by adding the decided increment to the reference flow, is supplied to the cathode (1b) during the system startup run, thereby allowing to effectively restrict a disadvantage in that a high concentration of hydrogen is wasted during the system startup run, without deteriorating the efficiency of the fuel cell system.

Abstract: An embossing chuck has an embossing part protruding, in a uniform height, from an upper surface of a body on which the wafer is put on. When viewed from the above, an area of the embossing part is 5~30% for a total area of the body. According to the chuck, since most of the charges existing in the chuck are concentrated at the embossing part and escape through the embossing part, when the embossing part is provided, the electrostatic force attracting the wafer becomes weak, as compared to a case where the embossing part is not provided to the chuck. Therefore, it is possible to easily detach the wafer from the chuck.

Abstract: A vehicle restraint system (20) has a vision-based occupant classification system (48) for control of airbag deployment during a crash scenario. The classification system utilizes two imaging sensors (52, 54) which together create a stream of paired images (84) received and stored by an occupant classification controller (46). A computer program product (62) of the controller utilizes the paired images (80, 82) to extract disparity/range features (68) and stereo-vision differential edge density features (64). Moreover, the controller extracts wavelet features (66) from one of the two paired images. All three features or maps are classified amongst preferably seven classifications by algorithms of the computer program product producing class confidence data 114 fed to a processor (117) of the controller for processing and output of an airbag control signal (50) input into a restraint controller (32) of the vehicle restraint system.

Abstract: There is described a sensor comprising an excitation winding, a signal generator operable to generate an excitation signal and arranged to apply the generated excitation signal to the excitation winding, a sensor winding electromagnetically coupled to the excitation winding and a signal processor operable to process a periodic electric signal generated in the sensor winding when the excitation signal is applied to the excitation winding by the signal generator to determine a value of a sensed parameter. The excitation signal comprises a periodic carrier signal having a first frequency modulated by a periodic modulation signal having a second frequency, the first frequency being greater than the second frequency. In this way, the sensor is well suited to using digital processing techniques both to generate the excitation signal and to process the signal induced in the sensor windings. In an embodiment, the sensor is used to detect the relative position of two members. In other embodiments, the sensor is used to detect environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Abstract: A dynamic spine stabilization device is provided that includes at least one force imparting member, e.g., a spring. The force imparting member is adapted to deliver a force of between about 25 N/mm and 75 N/mm and restrict the relative travel distance between said first and second pedicles to a distance of between about 1.5mm and 5mm. The spinal stabilization devices also have a minimal impact on the location of the center of rotation for the spinal segment being treated. By providing resistance in the noted range and restricting the travel distance to the noted range, it has been found that the stabilization device provides a desired level of stabilization, as reflected by range of motion values that closely approximate pre-injury range of motion levels. In addition, the resistance levels are not so high as to alter the location of the center of rotation of the treated spinal segment from its normal anatomical location to levels previously obtained, thereby permitting substantially unimpeded angular motion despite the posterior presence of a stabilization device.
